From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Data from YouGov put into map format shows Scotland, London, and other urban areas like Manchester and Brighton solidly backing Remain.
Rural areas, particularly in the East of England and Midlands, tend to support Leave.
Areas on the Thames Estury in Essex and Kent also support leaving the EU.
The analysis comes as polls show the referendum on a knife-edge.
Surveys published over the last few weeks showed the argument moving gradually towards Leave as the campaign focused on immigration.
However, last week Remain appeared to rally, taking the lead again with some pollsters.
The European Union referendum will take place on 23 June, this Thursday. The deadline to register to vote has already passed.
